But very little about this hollow sequel to 2013's heist thriller Now You See Me feels mysterious; its biggest set-pieces will make viewers ask not "Whoa, how'd they do that?" but "Wait, huh?"

The movie offers neither the astonishment of the magicians' artistry nor a dramatic view of how they do it.

Based solely on merit, Now You See Me 2 is a sequel that should never have been made.

And of course, there's no danger of mistaking computer-enhanced trickery for actual sleight of hand, so even the modest but honest pleasure provided by quality card work is compromised.

The film is mainly horseplay, wasted motion, and talk, talk, talk, with a few good action scenes ...
